Video: Fox airs German clip of Green Helmet staging a scene at Qana

Nothing new here, but I thought righty bloggers would like to see that their efforts to bring this to the attention of big media have paid off. We’ve all watched the clip, and now, thanks to FNC, a few hundred thousand other people have as well. Well done, Todd Connor.

Connor also happens to be the guy who interviewed Ace about Reutersgate, so clearly he has his eye on the blogs.

No kidding these guys have some guts. That takes guts to continue to report the truth when they have kidnapped your guys like that.

Unfortunately they may need a bit more than guts to get their guys back. Hopefully mordock will hire a few commandos to send a “permanent” message that screwing with his employees is inimicable to your health. But somehow I doubt that will happen. Even if he tried he’d have the fwench whining in 5 seconds flat and then con-lady would probably get after him to ask for a UN resolution…

I was very surprised and VERY pleased to see this report. Quite obviously Todd Conner is a HotAir fan! KUDOS to all the bloggers out there for their incredible devotion to really “speaking Truth to Power”!!

Hopefully, someone will take advantage of an opportunity to ask Green Helmet why he told the newsmedia that there were 210 casualties at the collapsed house in Qana. That was his estimate after spending the morning at the site.

Red Cross has since reported, in detail, that 28 died and at least 35 survived, according to its sources.

He is now portrayed as a man with 20-years experience in “rescue work”. It should be an obvious question that he can answer with confidence: What was the basis for his initial estimate?

He has also been reported as claiming thousands of dead civilians in the Tyre area alone. On what basis? His speculation proved to be little more than a guesstimate or a wild-ass-guess at Qana.
